Experience:

Joe possesses over 17 years of experience in the engineering field and has designed numerous switch stations and substations for electric utilities in multiple states. His substation design experience includes projects ranging in scope from smaller projects such as feeder additions, transformer upgrades, oil circuit breaker replacements, voltage conversions, and temporary wood pole substations, to larger projects such as greenfield switch stations and substations with voltages ranging from 4.16 kV to 230 kV, and single substation design capacities up to 672 MVA. Whether the project is large or small, his attention to detail is evident, as he draws from an extensive knowledge pool to produce quality designs that are accurate, thorough, and exemplary.

Joe currently manages a team of substation design staff that work with each client to understand their standards and preferences and incorporate those elements into each design leading to a facility that is familiar to the client’s personnel while giving functionality and operational flexibility to the client’s system. Joe’s team has worked on projects setup with a traditional design-bid-build delivery method, as well as design-build projects, and understands the critical-path tasks that must be accomplished to complete projects on-time and within budget.
